Luminaries: Life Lessons from Leaders and Change-makers in the Time of COVID
About the Lecture Series
How do we lead, inspire, and make change in these unprecedented times?
Hear from and interact with world-class leaders who drive large-scale change and are engaging this question right now.
Encounter luminaries in the fields of leadership, business, and social innovation, from noted entrepreneurs and CEOs to change agents who are committed to enhancing individual and collective flourishing. The lecture series emphasizes direct interactions with leading luminaries to discuss their models and practices and learn directly from them and from their experiences. The series offers weekly lectures that engage at the levels of theory and real-world practice in order to enhance one’s own leadership toolkit, change-making capacity, as well as one’s ability to enhance collective prosperity and flourishing at a time when these skills are needed most.
